Tools to get started

[Daniel Devin Jewell]

Hi everybody I think I would rank myself as a medium small investor I've done a few flips and have if you renters and of actively pursuing the expansion of my portfolio.

I was trying to think of ways that I could add value to people and one of the ways that I thought I could was to share tools that I most use.

the first thing that I absolutely love and I don't think enough people I know about is called a quarter round cutting tool. When I put in a new floor most of the time I have to measure my quarter round get up go to a chop saw that is outside make my cut and then come back inside without banging the walls and then if I need to make any more adjustments I have to go back outside this takes up a lot of time with this tool I can just sit on the floor with a bundle quarter round and Scoot around and chop as I go it's extreme Improvement when it comes to time and your knees.

Is the name of a similar to wall that I use copied and pasted directly from Amazon.

A impact driver If I didn't have my traditional drill it wouldn't be that big of a deal, I rarely use it. My driver can do everything and more that my drill can. Have a impact driver I would highly recommend having it there smaller lighter are once you start using it you'd be surprised how you ever went along without it.

A big and small Vise grip channel locks I use my channel locks all the time. they are always on my belt whether I need them or not. I can use them for plumbing electrical work sheet metal work or just holding something that my hands aren't strong enough to hold. channel locks are a must-have. if you can't think of a use for them just have them and you'll find one.

my favorite Screwdriver is a Milwaukee Multi-Bit Screwdriver, Tip Size #1, #10, #15, #2, 1/4 in, 3/16. It has a variety of bits in it that are useful but the thing that I consistently love is the fact that you can change tips super easily and if you need a bolt/nut in an electrical box or other places remove a tip and the hole that the tip was in will fit the bolt you're working on. A lot of the nuts and bolts are standardized sizes.

A voltage detector pen. one of the things that can spruce up a property is new cover plates and outlets/switches. they're usually pretty cheap at $0.60 a piece or less but it's always nice to make sure that the electricity is off if you're working with other people that need the electricity on or if there's a bunch of rabbit ears you can determine which one is the feed wire by testing with your trusty pen.

A PEX crimping tool when I first bought it I was reluctant to spend $60 or $80 on this tool but it has been totally worth it. when it comes to connecting PEX pipe to sinks or anything I prefer using this because it is super fast and easy compared to PVC cheaper, faster, and easier than working with copper.

Rubber gloves and a good caulk gun. spend the extra 10 or 15 bucks on a good caulk gun there's been so many times I've ruined a tube of caulk or ruined the gun itself and it is just so much nicer to have a good caulk gun you'd be surprised.

Everything else is really just personal preference, I guess.

but let me know what your favorite tools are!!
